Hello,This is a collaborative pulp sci-fi story that's open to anyone. I want it to follow Joseph Campbell's monomyth structure, also referred to as the hero's journey: http://tinyurl.com/mgjx7m
Give me a shout out if you're interested.
Summary:
John Stantham had been to many worlds, but none were to entrap him as dangerously as the planet of Rubyeden. A mere stop on his route back to Earth, Stantham had thought, but he had not known then of the things that made Rubyeden unique. One was the recurrence of the dead; the other was the existance of weird, hostile creatures. Finally, the what was the murderous secret kept hidden by Rubyeden rulers?
Stantham thought Rubyeden would be a mere stopover on his journey, but the living, the dead, and the monsters decided otherwise.
Main Characters:
Name: John Stantham
Age: late 30s
Nationality: English
Physical Description: Mercenary. Galactic traveller. Survivor. John Stantham is all those things and more. At over 6 feet Stantham is a large man, physically strong and well muscled. His impassive face can change from kindness to terrifying cruelity in seconds, normally when an injustice is sensed. An expert in many forms of combat (evident from the scars which line his body), his short, brown hair frame his hypnotic brown eyes flecked with green. His senses are developed far beyond those of the average person. An antihero with a clear set of values and morals, he helps others who can't help themesleves. He has little regard for rules, as you might expect.
Name: King (no first name)
Age: unknown
Nationality: a planet yet to be decided
